THE LATEST TELEGRAMS.
GENERAL NOTES.

The great lockout in the Haverhill,
Massachusetts, shoe factories has ended
in victory for the employees.
THE increased duty on iron, laid for the
benefit of single firm in Canada, threat
ems to drive many manufactures in the
Dominion out of business. A strong
pressure is already being brought to bear
fo- restoration of the old duty.
FORTY manufacturing establishments
at Haverhill, Massachusetts, Tuesday
closed their doors, throwing three thoCs-
and men out of employment. About four
thousand more will be locked out Wednes-
day. The state board of arbitration will
attempt to adjust the trouble.
Two Pennsylvania ladies are about to
file claim against the United States
of advances said to have been made by
lineal ancestor to the continental gov
eminent during the revolution.
The proceedings in the Illinois senate,
were varied by a set-to between Senators
Gibbs and Crawford, for which they sub
sequently apologized to the senate. The
episode grew out of a difference of opin-
ion regarding the Roche Winston drain
age bill.
THE will of the late Washington c.
De Paw, of New Albany; devises about
100000 to his family, and the remain
der of his estate, valued at $5,OOOOOO, to
benevolent and educational objects, in
Guiding $1,025,00O to De Paw univers
ity.
The cotton caterpillar has made his
fret &c in
Carolina. Several thousand of them
stopped passenger train in the "Pedee
Swamp the other day, and at last
accounts the train was still in the swamp.
The cotton caterpillar is little late this
year, but he will doubtless make things
interesting for the South CaroIinians the
rest of the season.
SOME time ago New York paper pub
lished a sensational story of alleged
hardships and indig mites inflicted upon
the Apache captives at Fort Pickens,
Florida. A report just submitted to
General Sheridan by the inspector gen
eral of the division of the Atlantic says
the captives occupy clean and whole
some quarters and are docile and ODE
dent. AS to their treatment the report
is silent.
THE lockout of workmen engaged in
the building trades at Chicago continues
undated, and competent authorities
estimate that sthesarmy of IDLE men
number sthirteen thousand. The en-
ployers seem to be rock rooted in the
stand which they have taken, and while
they regret the untoward condition of
affairs at the most favorable portion of
the building season, insist that until the
mechanics recede from their unwarrant-
able demands in relation to the hiring
of nou- union labor and the employment
of apprentices it would be useless to at
tempt patched up peace.

death.
A KANSAS City dispatch says, heavy

siderable anxiety was caused!by fears Of a

the children were dismissed for the day.
Only thunder shower was the outcome,
| however. A year ago this month wind
storm passed over this city, killing over
thirty persons.
A SAN Francisco dispatch says the

tions of the Canadian Pacific roads. Boy
cotting is a bad business for great cor

workingmen to be engaged in, and be
| sides it is a violation of the law. But
| the transcontinental roads never did care
much about the law.

A Terrible Experience in Nevada County
Mining Shaft.
The other evening party of miners
were sitting around the stove in their
boarding house, smoking their pipes and
relating incidents from their experiences
while working in the mines. One of
them, a hardy, sinewy-looking Cornish
man, of about so years of age, related
the following story of narrow escape
from death. He said in substances:
Some years ago I was working for a
prospecting company operating In the
Western part of Nevada county. The
company had bonded quartz claim on
a working bond, and were attem pting
to develop it as cheaply as possible. a
year or two previous the owner had sunk
a. shaft on the ledge to the depth of 800
feet, but being short of money had sus-
pended work and allowed the shaft to
fill up with water. The new company
started to run g. tunnel which should
strike the bottom of the shaft and serve
as a drain tnnnel. After portion of
the work had been completed the rock
became very hard and the expense SO
great that the manager of the enterprise
concluded to abandon it. / suggested
to him that it would have been better if
he had in the start boiled out the shaft
to see whether the property was sufficient
ly valuable to justify further develop
ments. I told him that even then it
would not cost much to do it, and he
would be better satisfied if it should be
done.
There was a small donkey engine at
the mouth of the shaft, and, instead of
4Ia
to the surface by ssbailiug tub" It was
finally concluded to get up steam and
hoist the water, The ledge stood almost
perpendicular, aud the shaft was very
narrow. There was just room enough
| for the tub to pass up and down, but not
room enough to allow it to turn and fill
| by dipping. Tt was therefore made to
| fill by valve in the bottom, which open
ed upward with the pressure of the water
below. In the course of two or three
DAYS the water had been lowered to a
depth of $50 or 200 feet without Difficult
| ty. But when that point was reached
| the shaft made bend to follow the dip
of the ledge. One day the tub, when
passing this bend, was caught between
] the walls, and could neither be raised nor
lowered. The 'sboss" asked that some
one should 90 down and relieve it. This
was considered to be dangerous under
taking. The only way to descend was to
climb down the rope, or to trust to
perpendicular ladder of slight material
fastened to the side of the shaft. Hav-
| ing been SO leng under water, it was
thought that the fastenings might have
slipped or become insecure, and no one
would trust his life to so frail support.
finally volunteered to make the des-
cent, and seizing the rope, after much
difficulty I reached the spot where the

The business men of San Francisco are
felicitating themselves at the prospect OF
the completion of the Oregon and Cali
fornla railroad. The opening of the
Northern Pacific was great blow to the
Golden Gate and gave great impetus tc
Portland. With the Oregon and Cali
fornia road built, San Francisco pro
poses to make Portland a way station
But there are two sides to that question
IN the first place Portland can reach the
eastern markets quite as easily as Sar
Francisco can; while there is more of 6
back country for the northern city te
rely upon. The northwest corner of the
republic is little empire in itself, com
mercially speaking, and California vii
have no easy task in holding its own on
the Pacific coast.

The American Schooner Clara J. Friend
has been refused permission at Halifax to
take in provisions. The matter was car
ried on in very dignified way, the cap
tain of the schooner taking the precau-
tion to give notice of his intentions be-
fore he attempted to buy. The Canadian
minister of customs telegraphed in an
swer to Consul General Phelan's inquiry
that mo American vessel could purchase
provisions in Canadian port under the
provisions of the treaty of 1878" This
is not complete answer to the inquiry
OF Mr.. Phelan, because all American yes
sells do not sail under the conditions OF
the treaty of 1918 alone. If the schooner
was armed with a traders license, she
would seem to precipitate the complied
tions provided for by congress at the last
session.
